What do you use to clean/lube your gun?

I'm totally spoiled. My first Christmas with my fiancee' she was great enough to get me a Crest Ultrasonic 575. I used to take her shooting about once every two weeks and then we would spend a couple of hours cleaning the pistols, which was fun and informative for her, but she sneakily asked me one day if there was an easier way and the next thing I knew, I had a brand new ultra sonic tank for all my pistols and small parts to go through. Totally cool.

I don't put my slides in there because of the night sights, but it's safe for everything else. Pull the hand grips on my 1911's and they are good to go in about 10 minutes of treatment. Really good stuff.

For a range kit I use M-Pro7 that I bought in a handy plastic kit that housed everything from swabs to cleaner to lubricant to the kitchen sink. Really good stuff and I have never had any problems with any of their products except that the cap came off the spray cleaner and needed to be afro-engineered to keep from leaking. That was the only negative I could possibly say about their stuff, it works well and I have never had any performance issues from any gun, 1911 thru Glock thru Kimber thru Sig Sauer thru Taurus after it has been cleaned with their product.

I mean this with all respect and take it as a compliment, but you suck. Seriously, that's awesome man. You are a lucky cat, JD

That is the coolest thing ever!!! Seriously, that has GOT to rock. I only dream of having stuff that cool AND useful.
Makes going out shooting even more fun when you know that clean up is going to be a snap!
Being a gun "newbie" I didn't even know cleaners like that even existed. Makes me jealous......lol.

Virtually anything from ATF fluid, to Mobil One, to any decent gun oil.

I'll pickup Break-Free or Weapon Shield if I'm passing a display; I avoid Ezzox live the plague because I can't stand that, 'whorish smell'; and I, also, avoid any of the break cleaners - whether chlorinated, or not - because of all the reports about carcinogens.

My favorite cleaner used to be Hoppes; but, my wife hated the smell. After everything is said and done, I've settled on clean, pure, Ballistol Sportsman's Oil. It gets the job done; has a mild pleasant odor, and all of my polymer frames and gun furniture absolutely love the stuff. (It actually seems to rejuvenate gun polymers!)

For a combination: lubricant, preservative, and anti-rust compound I use Sentry Solutions, 'Hi Slip' Grease and, 'Smooth-Kote'. If it's good enough for the Navy's SEAL teams to use, then, it's good enough for me, too.

I always wear Latex or Nitrile gloves while cleaning firearms. I'm getting older; and, I don't want to expose myself to anymore carcinogens than I really have to.
